HIS FORSAKEN WIFE HIS GREATEST REGRET Let's Get Married
Roberta's POVThe kiss consumed me—his lips warm and insistent, his hand cradling the back of my neck like I was something precious. For a heartbeat, I melted into it, kissing him back with every fractured piece of myself. Then reality crashed over me like ice water.I pulled away abruptly, stumbling to my feet. My lips tingled. My chest heaved.Brett’s eyes widened, filled with immediate regret. “Roberta… I’m sorry. That shouldn’t have happened. It won’t happen again. I crossed a line.”I nodded quickly, unable to meet his gaze. “I… I should put the first aid kit away.”I gathered the supplies with shaking hands, clearing the table in mechanical motions. I could feel his eyes on my back the entire time—heavy, worried, longing. It made my skin burn. When I finished, I paused at the doorway.“I’ll be in my room,” I said softly, without turning around.***I closed the door behind me.I leaned against it. My chest was heaving. My heart was pounding.I pressed my fingers to my lips. I co
HIS FORSAKEN WIFE HIS GREATEST REGRET The Kiss After The Storm
Roberta's POVJace stared at him. His nose was broken. Blood dripped down his chin."You're going to regret this," Jace said. His voice was nasal. Gurgling. "Do you know who I am? Do you know what I can do to you?""I don't care who you are." Brett stepped closer. "I don't care what you can do. If you ever come near her again—if you ever lay a hand on her again—I will end you. I don't care what it costs me."Jace laughed. It was wet and ugly."She's not worth it," he said. "She's nothing. She's garbage. She's—"Brett hit him again. Harder this time. The sound of flesh against flesh echoed through the quiet cemetery. Jace's head snapped back. He stumbled. Jace swung back wildly. His fist landed on Brett's jaw. A glancing blow, but enough to split the skin. Brett's head turned with the impact, but he didn't stagger. He didn't even blink.Then he moved.He grabbed Jace by the collar. Slammed him against the ground with so much force that Jace's head bounced off the dirt. Brett's knees
HIS FORSAKEN WIFE HIS GREATEST REGRET There Will Be No Divorce
Roberta's POVMy heart was racing.Why are you lying to me, Roberta?His question hung in the air between us. His face was still close. His eyes were still searching mine.He knows. He knows I'm keeping something. "I really need to sit down," I said. I couldn't manage to tell him that I wasn't lying to him. that would be a double lie.Brett nodded slowly. He guided me to the edge of the bed. His hand was on my lower back. His eyes never left my face.He helped me sit. Then he crouched in front of me. His hands rested on my knees."I'm going to give you some space," he said. "But I'm right downstairs. If you need anything—anything at all—you call for me."I nodded.He stood up. Walked toward the door. He paused at the threshold and looked back at me."I'll be here," he said. "Whenever you're ready."Then he was gone.The door clicked shut.My hand flew to my mouth. The tears came before I could stop them.What is wrong with me?Why do I want him to kiss me? Why do I want him?I presse
HIS FORSAKEN WIFE HIS GREATEST REGRET We Had A Daughter
Roberta's POV "What's mine?" Brett said again.He was still in the doorway. The phone in his hand had gone dark in his grip, forgotten. His eyes were on my face, and whatever he saw there had stopped him from coming any closer too fast.I looked at my own phone. The screen had dimmed, but I knew what was still on it.*99.97%.*"Nothing," I said."Roberta.""It's nothing, Brett." My voice didn't sound like my own. "I just — I said something out loud. To myself. It wasn't—""You said my name. I heard you say something was mine." He stepped into the room slowly, the way you approach something fragile. "You were holding your chest. You looked like the floor had opened under you." He crouched slightly, his eyes level with mine. "Please. Whatever this is — I'm not going to make it worse. I just want to understand."I looked at him.At the genuine, unhurried concern in his face. The same patience he had carried through every hard moment since the hospital. He had never once demanded anythin
HIS FORSAKEN WIFE HIS GREATEST REGRET Probability Of Paternity
Roberta's POV He hesitated. I watched him weigh protocol against the look on my face — whatever that look was, it must have carried something because his posture softened slightly."This isn't standard procedure," he said. "Normally, we'd need consent from both parties for a paternity comparison.""Please. I have to bury my daughter, and I can't do it without knowing the truth."He looked at the glass cup. Then at me. Then he picked up his clipboard."I can run it as a private comparison," he said quietly. "Off the books, technically. It'll take two days. I may need you to come back for the results in person — we don't send paternity results electronically.""Two days," I repeated."Two days."I nodded. Signed where he indicated. I watched him bag the glass and labelled it and disappeared through a door I didn't follow him through.The drive back to Brett's house took longer than it should have.I sat at a red light with my hands on the wheel and my eyes on nothing. What have I done
HIS FORSAKEN WIFE HIS GREATEST REGRET There's no turning back now.
Roberta's POV Then I signed. Not slowly. Not emotionally. Deliberately. The pen scratched against the paper—moving across the line with the weight of a decision that had been building for years and was finally, irrevocably, done.I set the pen down.Desmond took the document. His expression gave nothing away, but there was a faint precision of satisfaction in how he handled the page. "I'll have this filed by the end of the day. Jace will be served within the week."He repacked his briefcase.They shook hands. Then he nodded at me."Take care of yourself, Roberta." I nodded once. Then Brett walked him to the door. I heard low voices in the hallway, the door closing, and then Brett's footsteps coming back.He sat down in the armchair across from me and picked up a glass of whisky that had been sitting on the side table. He turned it in his hand once before he drank.I watched the glass.The mark of his lips on the rim when he lowered it.The thought arrived so quickly and so clearly t

Roberta's POVThe door swung open.What I saw almost stopped my heart.Millie was on top of Jace. Her body was moving. She was in a short black lingerie gown barely covering anything. Jace had nothing on. Their heads snapped toward me.His hands were still on her hips.For one second, nobody moved

Roberta's POV"No."The word came out quiet. "You're lying. She's not, she's not gone."The nurse's face stayed gentle and empty and sorry, and I looked at it and felt something in me refuse completely.""No." I stepped forward. "That's my daughter.""Ma'am—""That's my daughter." I moved past her
